Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has expressed admiration for Arsenal following their impressive victory over his former club. The Bulgarian icon, known for his calm demeanor and silky skills, was left in awe of Arsenal’s tactical execution, particularly their dedication to set pieces.
In his remarks, Berbatov stated, “I’ve never seen a team take set pieces as seriously as Arsenal did. It’s remarkable to see how every play, every corner, and every free-kick is meticulously planned and executed with precision. That level of attention to detail is what separates great teams from good ones.”
Arsenal’s backline also earned glowing praise from Berbatov, who highlighted the defensive prowess of William Saliba. The French international, lauded as one of the best young defenders in the game, delivered another commanding performance. Berbatov echoed sentiments shared by Rio Ferdinand, who recently claimed Saliba is on course to become the best defender in the world.
“Watching Saliba play is like witnessing a masterclass in defending. His elegance, strength, and composure under pressure are unmatched. He makes the game look effortless, and his ability to nullify attackers is phenomenal,” Berbatov added.
Arsenal’s win not only solidifies their title credentials but also highlights the depth and quality in their squad. With players like Saliba stepping up consistently, the Gunners look poised for a strong finish this season.
This victory over Manchester United further cements Arsenal’s status as one of the most disciplined and tactically astute teams in the Premier League. As Berbatov aptly summarized, “Arsenal is a team to fear. They are setting the standard in modern football.”
